I adore the contrast of sweet and salty. The pops of fresh grapes in here and the salty feta are so delicious! With the added touch of mint and the slight crunch of the quinoa, this salad makes an awesome light lunch or side to dinner (would be dreamy with grilled salmon or chicken). The flavours are very light and reminds me of something you would get served at a spa. The quinoa base packs a protein filled punch (plus it’s gluten-free) making this the perfect meal to fuel you for a busy day.
